Vitória Guimarães

WLWDWW

Vitória Guimarães will want to continue from where they left off last time out with the 0-1 Primeira Liga triumph vs Gil Vicente.

The only name on the scoresheet from Vitória Guimarães was Gustavo Silva (77').

Over their prior 6 games, Luís Freire's Vitória Guimarães have hit the target a total of 9 times giving them an average number of goals scored per match of 1.5.

A look at their previous results shows us that Vitória Guimarães:

• have not beaten Benfica in their previous 25 matches in the league. They'll surely be desperate to put an end to that run.
• are undefeated in their last 11 league matches at home. Visiting teams have certainly not had an easy time of it here.

👥 Head to head

Looking at their past head to head meetings stretching back to 27/02/2022 tells us that these encounters have been disappointments for Vitória Guimarães.

A total of 18 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 3 of them from Os Vimaranenses and 15 belonging to Benfica. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.

🗞️ Team News: Vitória Guimarães

In all likelihood, Os Vimaranenses could make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, handing starts to Bruno Varela, Maga, Toni Borevkovic, Filipe Relvas, Joao Mendes, Samu, Tomas Handel, Telmo Arcanjo, Joao Mendes, Vando Felix and Nelson Oliveira.

🗞️ Team News: Benfica

Benfica boss Bruno Lage has some current player fitness concerns. Renato Sanches (Muscle injury), Manu Silva (Cruciate ligament tear) and Alexander Bah (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

We reckon that Benfica could decide to begin the game with a 4-3-3 lineup, choosing Anatoliy Trubin, Tomas Araujo, Antonio Silva, Nicolas Otamendi, Alvaro Carreras, Fredrik Aursnes, Florentino Luis, Orkun Kokcu, Angel Di Maria, Vangelis Pavlidis and Kerem Akturkoglu.

🔮 Prediction

In our view, Vitória Guimarães have enough to score a goal against this Benfica outfit, although just one goal is unlikely to be enough to give them the result that they want.

Therefore, we’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 winning score for Benfica after 90 minutes. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
